Until 1986, Morgans were assembled then painted. In 1986, a number of
rust preventative measures were taken, including painting wings off and
the frames were dipped in Cuprisol, representing a quantum leap in
Morgan longevity.
Buy a new one now and you can choose the colour of the beading used,
attempting to match the colour of the body is usually suggested, but
contrasts are not uncommon.
